Debian

Debian is a popular Linux distribution, that is used primarily on desktop machines, however lots of people have started using it lately as a web server Operating System too, due to the stability and security it provides. The latter is a result of the fact that Debian is developed and supported by a large number of qualified volunteers internationally, so any patch which is necessary to fix a particular issue is released in a matter of days. The same community can also help with any question or trouble that a user may ever experience, as they can be contacted through email using e-mail lists and a qualified response will be sent in no more than 15-20 min. The advantage here is that your questions will be responded to by the same people who have developed the Operating System itself and they have an in-depth knowledge of how it functions. As Debian is provided for free, you will not have to pay any license fees to use it and you can personalize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for the Operating System and the 30.000+ software packages which are readily available for it.

There are several Operating Systems that we provide with our Linux VPS and Debian is one of them, therefore if you'd like to have a server with this Operating System, you can obtain one in under an hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to make sure that the VPS you'll get will completely cover the system requirements of any web or offline application that you would like to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be done in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you can do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, while using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain limitations, but you'll be able to do everything through your browser using a user-friendly web interface, even if you aren't very experienced. Using the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we will also keep your Debian OS updated weekly, saving you time and effort.

32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to select all of them with just a click for your new machine, depending on what software environment the apps which you plan to use require for optimal performance. You may also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or whether it should come without any Control Panel at all. The first option is made for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet would like to manage it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more experienced users who would like to have more control, because ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server whatsoever. We will also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it includes routine Operating System updates, so that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
